So, I have been thinking about having a sitcom style RP in FH, and maybe even record it. I had to think about what situation would be funniest to exaggerate for a theme, and then I realized: just make FH itself the theme. I was thinking some of the characters could be:
Sparkle le Sparkle: I think the name gives away what this character is a satire of. Bright, clashing colors, hyperactive, non-serious personality, uses the OMG face the entire time, and anything else the person playing such a character could think of that goes with the theme.
Brutus: Based off of bad godmodders. A pup that is annoying (in a funny way) because he keeps thinking he can take on anything and kill it with one shot, often without reason or consideration for size or experience. Most characters usually respond to his attacks with "Hi Sparky." I would reserve this character for a skilled comedian, however, because such a character could easily just become annoying, as the real versions are.
Demon of Evilness: Stereotypical demon RPer. Tries to be edgy with a good heart, but ends up not being too different from all the other characters.
I don't have ideas for names for the following, but here were a few other ideas I had:
Stereotypical hyper-serious player. Calls out how everything is unrealistic. Best name suggestion I have heard so far: Mr. Wolfspeak.
TLK RPer. To be honest, I don't know the stereotypes floating around about them. I think TLK RPers are a significant enough part of the community to be part of the parody though, so I would be counting on commenters here and the people doing the satire to generate ideas regarding how to exaggerate the tendencies in this community (or their reputation) in a way that would be funny for everyone. Best name suggestion I have heard so far: Official TLK.
If we could get this going regularly, maybe a bunch of guest characters would be awesome.
The trick would be finding people that can make this funny without being offensive. I mean, people are always going to find something to be offended over even outside of humor, but keep it within reason. As in, not Family Guy post-2010.
If things go really well, maybe we could get someone to stream it to Twitch, and/or upload to YouTube.
Thoughts? Volunteers? Ideas? I welcome whatever feedback people have. Just an idea that's been swimming around in my mind for a while.

This sounds like the best idea EVER! I would totally volunteer if it gets going! I'm not so much for ideas, but if I happen to get any, I'll let you know! 8D
-
I might volunteer.
-
This sounds like so much fun!! :D The TLK rper could be named like.. TLK Official (because in bonfire you always had Simba Official, Scar Official, etc.)
The person who takes things too seriously could be "Mr. Wolfspeak" lolol I'd love to guest sometime as...something. I'd find much enjoyment if this were a thing<3
-
This sounds like a wonderful idea! I'm not sure if I'd be able to regularly help out but if you're ever short on anything feel free to approach me every once in a while c:
-
This definitely seems like something worth checking out. I hope you're able to find enough people!
-
This sounds like a great idea; I'd be willing to volunteer.
-
Woah, this is a really unique idea! I could probably volunteer sometime if you need any volunteers c:
Good luck with this! I'm really interested to see how this works out.

I like those ideas, especially Mr. Wolfspeak!
Maybe I could just make another thread in this same subforum, or maybe just use this thread? Idk, what do people think?
And in regards to volunteers, glad to see so many that are willing! While I love the idea, I'm not really that funny myself. I will see if I can find a place (probably on these forums, but maybe something like Discord if people want) for the volunteers to get together and discuss times to meet.

Ooooh, I'd love to see something like this!
-
Wow, this sounds like a fun and unique idea. Hopefully it will work out. :3
-
I adore this idea <3 I wouldn't mind playing out a character xD It would be really wonderful if you could carry on through with this idea, I'm sure tons of folks would love it!

Okay, I know it seems like I abandoned the idea, but I just am not really active. I am a little bit, but I do come back.
So, I have been thinking on this a bit, and I have come up with a few more concepts:
Red Fox: Most of the fox tropes thrown into one: Just as self-serving as a Ferengi, but as handsome as they are ugly (or so he thinks, leading into the next attribute), arrogant, and has a sharp tongue that can deliver great burns. Very cunning.
Guests. Part of what keeps a good sitcom alive is the guest characters. I think it would be a great idea to invite random people on FH into each "episode," just so long as a good handful of us are available. Just let them make their own character, and interact naturally with our satire characters.
Ben Dun: A double play on words ("bending" or "been done [with life]"). Not too impressed with the name, so if someone can think of a better pun I would gladly accept it. A character that has somehow broken every bone in his body before he was two, has been shot and experimented on more times than he can count, bit and slashed open every place on his body, and still somehow lives to tell about it. He has endured every form of suffering. However, we would want someone very good at dark humor to play a character like this, because a character like this could easily come off as depressing or worse: a joke in bad taste.
Let me know what you think of these further ideas, and if anyone wants to join let me know what character(s) seem the most appealing to you.
I'm going to be in-game for some time today. Hopefully I will get some more ideas by observing other traits in the way people play.
